The Rockusb driver on Windows 11 is functional but requires or third-party WHQL alternatives.

Direct use of rockusb.sys is only recommended for legacy device support or isolated development workstations.
The RockUSB driver is a proprietary USB driver developed by Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics. Unlike standard USB drivers (e.g., for a mouse or keyboard), the RockUSB driver allows low-level, direct memory access to a Rockchip SoC (System on Chip) when the device is in secondary boot mode.
